Nidaime: "Oto-uto?!"

Now:

Nidaime's eyes widened in disbelief, anger seeping through his very core. "Who are you, and why do you look like my dead sibling?!" he roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

Naruto, sensing the tension, quickly interjected, "I'll stall the enemy. Deal with your brother." With an urgent nod, Itama rushed towards Tobirama, attempting to calm the fuming Hokage.

"Nii-sama! Stop!" Itama shouted, narrowly evading a water senbon aimed at his skull.

Tobirama, his eyes blazing with fury and confusion, growled, "Give me one reason to listen!"

In response, Itama unleashed a devastating combination of jutsu. A wind palm erupted from his hands, only to be countered by a sudden growth of wood and a swirling vortex of water. The display of both Wood Style and Water Release shocked the white-haired Hokage, as the Wood Style was incredibly rare and usually only possessed by the Shodai.

"Is that enough for you to listen?!" Itama shouted, his voice laced with irritation as he caught Naruto, who had been thrown by the enraged ox-octopus jinchūriki.

Naruto, his breath ragged from exertion, urgently called out, "Please wrap up your reunion! Dealing with two partial jinchūriki and a fully transformed one is no easy feat!"

"On it!" Itama responded, determination etched on his face.

Naruto nodded, his hands flying through a complex series of seals. "Fūin: Absolute Defense!" he called out, channeling his chakra with precision. A square barrier, just large enough to encompass Itama and Nidaime's height, materialized around them. "This will allow you to talk uninterrupted unless I undo it or... well, die," Naruto explained, his voice strained. "The barrier's a bit small, but it'll suffice. I can't handle a larger one while fighting these beasts. So hurry up, or I might not make it!"

Inside the barrier, Tobirama's stern gaze softened slightly as he took in Itama's familiar features. However, confusion still lingered in his eyes as he glanced towards Naruto. "Who's that Uzumaki girl?" he asked, his brow furrowed.
